you connect the appliance.
-- Do not use the appliance if the mains cord, the plug or the appliance itself is damaged.
-- If the mains cord is damaged, you must have it replaced by Philips, a service centre authorised by
Philips or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

-- Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
-- Do not point the hose, the tube or any other accessory at the eyes or ears nor put it in your
mouth when it is connected to the vacuum cleaner and the vacuum cleaner is switched on.
Caution
-- Do not suck up large objects as this may cause the air passage in the tube or hose to become
obstructed.
-- When you use the vacuum cleaner to vacuum ashes, fine sand, lime, cement dust and similar
substances, the pores of the dustbag and the motor protection filter become clogged. If you
notice a strong decrease in suction power, replace the dustbag and clean the motor protection
filter.
-- Always unplug the appliance before you replace the dustbag or clean the filters.
-- Never use the appliance without a dustbag or the motor protection filter. This could damage the
motor and shorten the life of the appliance. We advise you to use Philips s-bag ®  double-layer
paper dustbags.

Cleaning and maintenance 
1 Switch off and unplug the appliance before you remove and clean any parts.
2 Clean the appliance and its parts with a damp cloth.

from the appliance (Fig. 17).
2 Remove the HEPA exhaust filter.
3 Rinse the pleated side of the HEPA exhaust filter under a hot slow-running tap.
-- Hold the filter in such a way that the pleated side points upwards and the water flows parallel
to the pleats. Hold the filter at an angle so that the water washes away the dirt inside the
pleats (Fig. 18).
-- Turn the filter 180° and let the water flow along the pleats in the opposite direction (Fig. 19).
-- Continue this process until the filter is clean.
Never clean the HEPA exhaust filter with a brush (Fig. 20).
Note: Cleaning does not restore the original colour of the filter, but does restore its filtration power.
4 Carefully shake the water from the surface of the HEPA exhaust filter. Let the HEPA exhaust
filter dry completely before you put it back into the vacuum cleaner.
5 Place the dry HEPA exhaust filter back into the appliance.
